Ubuntu Lucid Lynx on a T61p Install Notes

Partition setup: Two encrypted physical volumes using dm-crypt, then LVM using those two PVs with several LVs containing several ext4 partitions, each mounted with several options. TODO: try using LVM, then encrypt the resulting LV, then partition the encrypted device as usual

Grub2 got installed to /dev/sda, which was my Ultrabay removable hard drive. Had to install Grub2 to /dev/sdb with sudo grub-install –root-directory=/ /dev/sdb

Switched to Human theme by installing human-theme. (Both the Light and Dark themes are extremely ugly. The lack of shadows between windows means each windows’ title bars blend into each other, making it difficult to discern which title bar belongs to which window. Dark red on black is impossible to read on a low brightness LCD screen.)
